    Holy crap batman, I go away for a while, and look at the progress, just looks amazing.  Looks like I will need a while to go back through and read everything that’s happened, attention to detail magnificent, top stuff!!!

    Wow top build mate!! I understand getting rid of the fr’s but noticed you are thinking of going gold rims. Gold goes quite well with blue. Have gold fr’s om my blue vs ute. Makes the colour pop so much better than silver. End of the day if you dont like them gold can always change the colour.

    also decided to make up a pcv catch can air oil separator its made out of just scrap aluminium came up pretty good

    boot before

    Mate just do it its all i have to say i love my 308s and rbs but  now this has had a proper  tune its just so good to drive if im under 3k rpm its so smooth i could drive it daily no issues but over 3k it turns into a tyre shredder
